I2C to Keyboard interface

Here follows a short description on how to use my i2c_kbd library, with this you could use
any AVR circuit with a matrix keyboard with minimal extra hardware. The interface from the
i2c to keyboard consists of a PCF8574 8bit I/O module, so with only 2 pins you could
interface the keyboard (or 3 pins if you use interrupt).

What you need to add in the beginning of your program is the following:

$lib "Key_i2c.lib"
$external _key_scan
Const Pcf8574_lcd = &H42
Config Scl = Portd.6
Config Sda = Portd.7
Dim _key_scan As Byte
!rcall _Key_init
.
.
.
!rcall _Key_Scan
if _key_scan = ? then


If using interrupts add the following (skip last section from above):

Enable Interrupts
Config Int0 = Falling
On Int0 _int0_label
Enable Int0
.
.
.
if _key_scan = ? then
.
.
.
_int0_label:
!rcall _Key_Scan
Return


The PCF8574 is connected as follows:










A0, A1 and A2 gives the address
of the chip
A0 A1 A2 Pcf8574_lcd
0 0 0 &H40
1 0 0 &H42
0 1 0 &H44
1 1 0 &H46
0 0 1 &H48
1 0 1 &H4A
0 1 1 &H4C
1 1 1 &H4E


To observe when using interrupts!
Disable int0 before doing anything time consuming (RS232, LCD etc.) otherwise you may get
problem with those routines, when you press a key the program will jump to _key_scan.

The variable _key_scan holds the value of the key pressed (0 if none)
